Muzzle brakes

I m buying a sendero 7mm or 300 win im not shure yet but i will be getting it this week ive been looking at muzzle brakes but im a little unshure there are so many out there i thought that some of u might be able to help witch one or ones are the best and witch to stay away from

I really like the Holland Quick Discharge brake that I have. There are several reasons that I like it. One I can get a variety of sizes/diameters that will closely match my barrel size(Midway USA). There are three large horizontal ports that work very effectively. There are three small ports on the top to help eliminate barrel jump. There are no ports on the bottom that would blow up dust while shooting prone. I put mine on a Remington sps 30-06. Even with a sim's recoil pad, it was kicking nearly as hard as my Ruger 300 win mag. Not Acceptable!! After installing the muzzle brake I would say that the rifle kicks less than my 6mm Remington. I was elated with the results. Also, this brake does not seem super loud. When wearing my ear muffs there is no discernible difference in volume before or after having it installed. That being said a spotter might disagree.

For a timed brake I use, install and highly recommend the Muscle Brake. I've put them on anything from a .204 Ruger up to my 338 - 408 Chey-Tac. They are the best for reducing recoil. In a 300 Win Mag or 7mm Mag Sendero it would be like shooting a sporter .243 Win.

The rule of thumb. For maximun braking it comes down to size/surface area. The more surface area the better the braking action. Brakes that are properly engineered can reduce recoil to allow for a pain free day of shooting & accurate shooting. Multi chambered brakes are what you want to look for. Stay away from so called brakes that look like someone took a drill bit a drilled a lot of holes, these are better known as compensators and do little for recoil but help in muzzle rise. The best brakes on the market are the v-block brakes. They are designed around the barrett 50 cal. The Armalite AR30 has the best brake on the market for all Magnum calibers like the 300win mag & 338 lapua. With the 308 and 30-06 Ben Cooley Maxi. One of the newest is called the Big Chubby by Ratworxusa.com. All of these brakes come with various thread patterns and should be purchased before you thread your barrel so it can be turned to properly index the brake without the need of a indexing nut for a clean look.
